- On Being Mortal
Thank you for the episode “On Being Mortal.” What a powerful and honest witness they both gave to being human and experiencing God in the midst of grief and loss. My heart was deeply stirred. And thankful for Ruth for modeling for us how to have these conversations. Deeply grateful!

I love this ministry. We are so busy in our loud lives we don't even realize that God is waiting to speak to us. Or we are frustrated because we feel a disconnect. What relationship would we not feel a disconnect in if we were not intentional to create space for it?
Apple Podcasts5jspenUnited States2 years ago This podcast is for all ministers—pastors, chaplains, leaders in the church. The genuine, authentic conversation is refreshing and reassuring. There are many challenging ideas & suggested spiritual practices.There is an invitation to the new, uncomfortable and beautiful. The book is amazing but these conversational podcast episodes are wonderful to listen to while driving or before bed. I’m so blessed (and relieved!) to have come across Ruth.
